May 26th-May 29th, 2016, Brigham Young University-Hawaii students attended the Annual Convention for the Association for Psychological Science to show off their latest research accomplishments. The event provides a remarkable opportunity for students, professors, and researchers of psychology to showcase their most recent work. The event brings the best minds of psychology from around the nation to give seminars, hold symposiums and workshops, and to present awards.  It is a great privelage to attend this event as undergraduate students, as the convention is usually accepts graduate students and their professors. APS offers students an opportunity to share their work and interact with professors of various graduate programs.
